Power officials expecting outages in NH due to Sandy

Power officials are expecting numerous outages in New Hampshire due to Hurricane Sandy.

Officials with Unitil and PSNH told News 9 Sunday that they are prepared.

Alec O'Meara of Unitil said the company has brought in crews from as far away as Michigan and Tennessee.

"We’re going to have approximately 260 crews. That’s a cross-section of different kinds of crews – tree crews, bucket crews, diggers. We want to have those all in-house so that we can have a nice coordinated restoration effort when this thing hits," said O'Meara.

Meanwhile, Martin Murray of PSNH said they will have 200 additional bucket trucks in New Hampshire by Tuesday morning.

"It’s going to be an intense storm. We are expecting power outages. We’re gonna have to deal with it," said Murray.
